Apricot Glazed Chicken Breasts

1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup low sugar Apricot Preserves

1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the chicken with the paprika.

Add the oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the garlic. Cook and stir for 30 seconds. Stir in the preserves, orange juice, cilantro, nutmeg and allspice. Bring to a gentle boil. Remove from the heat and pour over the chicken.
